GS110TP WONT CONNECT TO SOME OTHER SWITCHES - Why ?!
Ok, I have a load of netgear stuff, as it is fairly cheap and cheerful, but gets the job done, so +1 to them there :) The GS110TPE provides POE and switching for my five CCTV cameras, and a job t...

Hi jim1974,
Welcome to our community and Thank you for choosing Netgear!
As per checking in here is that, if one of the switches is connected to the network, the other one goes down. I think there is an IP conflict happening inside your network. May you be able to set the switches to static IP so that it will not have any conflict?
Please also try to use the Smart Control Center to monitor your switches.

No, thats not the problem I have.
When I try to connect the GS110 to either the 724 or my Airport, the units wont connect. All of the items continue to operate as they should, but the cable between them does not show any activity.
Plug it into my main router, it works, and connects.
There are no address conflicts, all IP of the switches and routers are static.
To be clear:
1) ANY PORT OF THE 110 > ANY PORT OF THE 724 = No connection (no lights, nothing)
2) ANY PORT OF THE 110 > ANY PORT OF THE APPLE = No connection, no lights etc
3) ANY PORT OF THE 110 > ANY PORT OF ROUTER = Connects, 100m, Full Duplex, but fails after a day or so.
If you have any network device, you should be able to plug it in to another device, and the units will go through a negotiation phase, and establish a connection. Even if there is a network loop, , ip conflict or broadcast storm, you would still have an established connection.
I have nothing when i connect certian equipment to the GS110 - however the switch works fine between the IP CCTV cameras, it just refuses to connect properly to anything else.
Would it be the POE that is incompatible with your other products? should i set the link port in question to a fixed speed ? What settings need to be checked ?
As metnioned above, it is almost as if the cables are not connected, no lights, nothing.
